[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-3101) Differences in 3rd party time stamps between builds

Differences in 3rd party time stamps between builds --------------------------------------------------- Key: JBDS-3101 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3101 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Story Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: build Affects Versions: 8.0.0.Beta3 Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 8.0.0.CR1 Attachments: dist-diff-grepped.log, dist-diff.log Hi Nick, perhaps you can clear this up. Sometimes I run the dist-diff tool between builds of JBDS to see what changed. You can see the latest report between JBDS 8.0.0.Beta3b B193 and Beta3c B194 here: http://machydra.brq.redhat.com/dist-diff/8.0.0.Beta3b-Beta3c/ What is certainly expected are the changes in Forge2 and Webservices - those had fixes in them. But then you can see many differences like these: {code} [dist-diff] org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql_1.0.2.v201107221520.jar!META-INF/MANIFEST.MF [dist-diff] org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql_1.0.2.v201107221520.jar!META-INF/ECLIPSE_.SF [dist-diff] org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql_1.0.2.v201107221520.jar!META-INF/ECLIPSE_.RSA [dist-diff] org.eclipse.datatools.sqltools.parsers.sql_1.0.2.v201107221520.jar!about.mappings {code} What triggers these is usually a change in the about.mappings file: {code} nattura:dist-diff rasp$ diff 1/about.mappings 2/about.mappings 6c6 < 0=1.7.2.v20140606-1324 \ No newline at end of file --- > 0=1.7.2.v20140307-0500 \ No newline at end of file {code} See the different time stamp. In case you wondered, that 0 property is used in the about.properties for build id: {code} blurb=Eclipse Data Tools Platform Model Base\n\ \n\ Version: {featureVersion}\n\ Build id: {0}\n\ \n\ (c) Copyright Eclipse contributors and others 2005, 2007.

Does every build take the dependencies from upstream again and potentially from a different mirror? Is this ok?
